Thanks for your response Little Jun, but some observations:

a) this host have 2 GB RAM and when I push the policy, 60% of ram is free. Then it isn't a RAM problem

b) It is a clean R70 SM installation, I don't upgrade anything. My test policy only contains 25 objects and 10 rules. It is a really really small policy to consume 99% cpu when I push the policy.

I have enabled on SM side only management and log. On security gateway I have enabled only firewall and monitoring options: no VPN, no IPS, no QoS. Maybe the problem is monitoring???

 Somebody have tried to limit cpu usage for fwm??
Did you try to run the fwm load from the command line ?

You can also run the strace with the fwm load command and see what's going on.



Ok, sorry for the delay response and i will try to response all questions:

a) running fwm from command line: "time fwm load Default_Policy smaug"

 Cpu is idle at 0% most part of the time ... It is simply awesome!! ...


Little Lun, upgrade hardware??? Is it not sufficient a server with QuadCore Cpu and 2GB of RAM for a R70 security management?? Then, which type of hardware i need to use: 4 QuadCores with 16 TB of RAM :))??. I have some vmware servers running three and four virtual machines using worst hardware and all works ok. Sorry, but it is not acceptable.

Tom, I have configured security gateway to keep all connections (and in a production environment we need to keep all connections when pushing policies)... but this can't increase cpu load at this momment because all is installed on a isolated network ...


Remember that I have using 25 objects and 10 rules only .... Ok more info. I have installed under one ESxi server a rhel4 Smartcenter server using NGX R65 HFA40 (with only 768MB of RAM) and result is: 15 secs to load same policy on a virtualized rhel3 R65 HFA40 with 512MB of RAM... Incredible!!.

And another example. I have two production environments with Sotnegate firewalls (configured with clustering). On both cluster exists more than 600 objects and 300 rules with monitoring enabled and keeping all connections when I push a new policy package... time to load a policy on this environments: 45 secs ... and I am using worst hardware on the stonegate management than I use to R70 ...

 Sorry, but for me, these results are bad and unacceptable.

I can't open a TAC because I am using trial versions. I am evaluating R70 platform to deploy a new production environment but with these results ...
